My wife recently had two implants in her front lower jaw. The entire

Sorry if my previous message about night guards got on anyone's nerves.

In January, I reported to the readers that I was celebrating fifteen
years without device failure of my Techmedica-made artificial jaw joints
(TMJs).  It's a bittersweet celebration at best.
And along comes March ... and I don't celebrate, I don't forget and I do
